Matilda is completely drawn into this ridiculous nonsense-- even while she wriggles and chops her own way out of her binds. There's some grumbling at any appearance of the Protector, something about stolen aesthetics-- but the biggest reaction out of her happens when the protector dummy shoots the hero dummies.

"Nooooooooo!" Matilda wails, the agony in her voice so real that she may have just seen all of her friends get shot for real. She's great fun to take to the movies or theater, really. She's reduced to pouting and some sniffling as the show ends-- and when Six asks what they thought, she knows exactly what to do.

She teleports right out of her seat, onto the stage, fumbling around a little in the dark to find her dummy-- then teleports back, with the absurd Matilda-dummy, into her seat, to pout. "How was that a fight?"
